#!SUITS

Five days ago we received the following:

Hear hear, ye Disciples of the Computer Age,

The followers of the sect of Set hereby challenge your finest champions to do battle! It will be a battle of wits, stamina and musical prowess. It is a battle to find the greatest GUITAR HERO of our time.

The House of Manning has kindly lent us their great tavern for our use on Tuesdays, from the hours of 1pm to 3pm.

We look forward to hearing from you and hope you can find the greatest of champions that will be able to take on our valiant heroes. Please let us know the date of a suitable Tuesday.

Hello Everyone,

You may have heard about the SUITS BYO PC LAN that we are running this Saturday (the 27th of September). If not I recommend you head straight to this form and fill it in (on the day priority entry will be entitled to those who have registered or payed). Before you come to the LAN on Saturday there is a bit of house keeping I need to run through. I need you to read through this so we can have the smoothest running LAN possible.

Everyone knows what happens in an AGM. The usual formalities: motioning changes, electing new execs. But really, it has been really fun. Not surprisingly, this AGM in 2008 was the longest AGM we’ve ever had. That is, the longest AGM out of the two that we’ve had so far. Well 3 if you include the inaugrual general meeting. It started from 5pm today and it wasn’t until 8pm that the formalities ended.

So here’s our new executive team for 2008-2009:

• President: Ben Taylor
• Vice President: Dominick Ng
• Treasurer: Joshua Pearse
• Secretary: Gareth Robinson
• Events Co-Ordinator: Joshua Akehurst
• Public Relations: Cathrine Stewart
• Industry Liaison: Edmund Tse
• IT Officer: Tim Dawborn
• Undergraduate Representative: Tarek Elgindy
• Postgraduate Representative: Liviu Constantinescu

CSESoc (of UNSW) has kindly invited all SUITS members to join them at their cocktail party. It’ll be at a place half-way between USYD and UNSW: the Crown Hotel on Cleveland St. Expect it to be held upstairs (called “The Dome”), in the “Corner Room”, but this is to be confirmed.

So why should you come? This is a great opportunity to mix and mingle (like normal people) with lots of people with the same interests as yourself. Expect to have a few drinks, and meet plenty of new friends.

If you’re interested, drop us a message. Cost is yet to be confirmed, but we’ll keep you updated. Stay tuned!

Hello again

So last week we had our second Console Gaming Night and this week we had our second LAN Gaming night for the semester. Both went off really well and everyone involved surely had excellent fun. The Console Gaming Night was definitely a success as usual, we managed to bring along an Xbox 360, a Wii, A Nintendo 64, An Xbox and Guitar Hero for Mac. The LAN Night had our usual suite of LAN Games including Starcraft, Worms World Party, Tremulous, Open Arena and Enemy Territory. Watch this space because both these events will get bigger as the semester moves on. We are looking to spend some extra money on games for our LAN night, you’ll hear about this. Not to mention that next Console Night will have more games, more consoles and will hopefully be even more fun.
